217K0

More than forty years ago, a girl named Ma La secretly took a yellowed photo from her grandmother's drawer. The woman in the photo is wearing a windbreaker and staring into the distance. She has an indescribable charm. Her name was Manya, born in Hailar, China. She was shot in 1938 for "Japanese espionage". More than twenty years later, it was through this photo that the diplomat Mara embarked on a tortuous road to find her family. Faced with true and false historical files and confusing oral recollections, she used amazing perseverance to finally uncover the tragic past of a Russian family in Harbin.
